April: Investment outlooks for financial markets - BANCO SABADELL

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on financial markets over the past few weeks. We have witnessed the fastest stock market correction in history. Periphery risk premiums have also risen and corporate debt and commodities have plummeted. The main central banks and governments are going to extraordinary lengths to cushion the effect that measures taken to contain the virus are having on economic growth. Fortunately, there are already signs of stabilisation...

Stock markets regained some of the ground lost after the sharp falls in March, such as the US S&P 500, which recorded its best April since 1975. The slowdown in the spread of the virus and the monetary and fiscal policies implemented by most countries have helped this recovery. However, the halt in activity and the fall in oil consumption have led to US oil trading in negative territory, something never seen before in history. The peak of the rate of infection has been left behind, and policies seem to be the right ones; therefore, investment opportunities are emerging...

Covid-19 has affected the markets in the last month because of the impact it may have on the world economy. The measures taken in China are containing the number of new cases, while the focus is now shifting away from China, where the number of cases reported daily is still rising, and measures to control its spread start to be implemented. The support from the main central banks and their economic stimulus policies will be key to minimising the effect of the virus on the economy and giving new confidence to the markets. All this will support stock markets.

The markets had a good start to 2020. Most stock exchanges are holding their peaks, and fixed income and precious metals continue to be safe-haven assets among political upheavals. Much of this good performance can be explained by the progress made on political issues. The US and China have signed the first phase of the trade agreement, the outcome of Brexit is clearer and the tensions with Iran have not had a general impact on markets. Furthermore, Central Banks... In this video, Gabriel Noguera, from the Customer Strategy Division, explains the investment outlook for February 2020.

Stock markets continue with their excellent performance, recovering all of the ground lost at the end of 2018. Business confidence indicators begin to reflect the more positive tone of trade talks between the US and China. Economic growth forecasts, which are the basis for generating corporate earnings, are expected to stabilise. Central banks are also expected to continue with their expansionary policies, underpinning corporate forecasts and supporting positive stock market performance...

Stock markets continue to perform well, boosted by the new liquidity injected by major central banks, which has allowed them to recover the ground lost over the summer and, in the case of European equities, has helped them reach their highest levels this year. Political aspects, central banks, the trade war, Brexit and tensions in the Middle East have all had an impact on market performance. This makes it essential to invest in the long-term, in order to weather the fluctuations caused by such news. In the past month, the European Central Bank has announced its new economic stimulus packages and the Fed has once again cut its interest rate, in order to...

Stock markets have stabilised and recovered some of the ground lost in August thanks to the intervention of central banks, which have cushioned the effects of the political noise caused by escalating trade tensions between the US and China and the increased uncertainty around the outcome of Brexit. Diversification has once again proven to be the most appropriate investment strategy. More defensive assets, such as government bonds and gold, have performed extremely well, and diversified portfolios have therefore avoided the brunt of negative movements in equities. The upcoming meetings of the main central banks in September will be crucial for markets, since...

Markets welcome the confirmation that central banks will resume monetary stimulus measures, with the possibility of interest rate cuts and new asset purchase programmes, in order to mitigate the potential effects of trade tensions on the economy. Equities have rebounded, while interest rates are at their lowest-ever level, as observed in the case of Spanish 10-year government bonds. New stimulus measures will be a supporting factor for markets, as... Gabriel Noguera, of the Customer Strategy Division, presents the investment outlook for July 2019.
